Nightmare-fluff(maybe a little angst?)🌸🥲

I'm sorry for not updating I've been doing a lot of school work😫

Joe's POV

I was half asleep when I heard Cherry talk in his sleep. I smiled to myself, rolling over to face him. "Please don't go," he said, his voice wavering a bit. 'That's weird. He sounds upset' I thought to myself, reaching over and turning on the lamp. I looked back over to him to see his face twisted in fear, and beads of sweating on his forehead. I put my hand on his head, wiping away the sweat, and feeling for a fever. Small tears started to form at the corners of his eyes so I started worrying. "Baby. Baby, wake up Hun" I whispered, rubbing his arm.

Cherry gasped, jumping up in bed, and starting to cry heavily. I wrapped my arms around him, which must have scared him because he pulled away, throwing himself into the opposite corner of the bed. "Kaoru baby, It's just me." I said, reaching my hand out to him. "J-j-joe" He sobbed, crawling back over to me. I took him into my arms, putting my hands in his hair to comfort him. "Shh-shh. Tell me what's wrong baby." I whispered to him, moving one of my hands down to rub his back. "I-i-i" "Shhhh hon, it was only a nightmare, I'm right here" I said, pulling him closer. "Y-you l-left -m-m-me" He sobbed back. Pain shot through my heart. The thought that I could hurt him this much in a dream made me feel guilty for something that didn't actually happen. "I will never, ever, leave you" I said back, kissing his forehead. "Y-you did t-though. Y-you were w-with a girl a-a-and you said t-that you n-never lo- hic -ved me. And then I-i remembered a-a-all the things A-adam said t-to me."

"What did he tell you that would relate to that baby" I said, wiping away his tears. "H-he told me t-that you would n-n-ever love m-me because I'm n-not worth the t-time." He cried, burying his face into my chest, and gripping onto my arms roughly, as if I would get up and walk away. "I wouldn't. Nothing he said is true. I love you, I have since the day I met you. You're the only person for me. I don't care if he told you that you're the worst person in the world. To me you're the best thing in my life" I said, kissing his forehead. "Y-you m-mean that?" He asked, looking up at me. I leaned down and kissed his lips. "I mean it Cherry''

Once his tears stopped flowing and his breathing slowed I spoke again. "You don't want to sleep right now, do you?" "No" I faced him, "What do you want to do?" "I'm hungry. I feel gross in these clothes. And I'm not tired" He answered. "Ok. You go get changed while I warm up some food, and then we'll watch a movie or something, ok?" "Alright" He said, smiling and kissing my cheek. I got up, going into the kitchen and bringing out leftover pasta from earlier. I warmed it up, grabbing a few of Cherry's favorite snacks . I began back up the stairs, when I heard a thud come from our bedroom. I sprinted up the stairs, making sure not to spill anything. I got into the bedroom to see what seemed to be most of the pillows we owned on top of Cherry.

I chuckled. "What were you trying to do babe?" "I wanted more pillows." He stated, surrendering and flopping down on the ground with the pillows. I put the food down on the dresser, walking over to Cherry. "Is that my shirt?" I asked, kneeling beside him. "No" He answered, rolling his eyes. "Liar." I said, pinning Cherry to the ground and tickling him. "J-joeeee st-oppp" He yelled giggling. After a couple minutes I stopped, looking down at him. "Stupid gorilla" He said, grabbing the collar of my shirt and pulling me down, kissing me. After a few seconds we pulled away, smiling at one another.

"You're so cute," I said. "Shut up" He answered, pushing me off him and getting into our bed. "Bring me some of those pillows" He demanded. I grabbed a few, placing them beside him, before getting into bed too. "Can we watch a movie?" He whispered, sounding scared. "Of course" I said, picking up the remote and looking over at him. He was twirling his thumbs with his head down. "What's wrong?" I asked, grabbing one of his hands in my own. "I'm sorry" He whispered. I turned over to face him fully. "For what?" "This. Everything that's happened tonight. Now you have to go to work tomorrow tired, because I couldn't deal with my own nightmare." I saw a couple small tears roll down his cheeks and leaned over, wiping them. "Don't apologize. I never want you to feel bad because of something like this. I would rather be awake with you than sleeping while you're in pain." He turned to look at me, smiling. "You're stupid sometimes you know" I laughed, pulling him into my arms.

"So are you, but that's one of the reasons I adore you." I laid down, pulling him with me. He cuddled up right in between my side and arm, kissing my chest. "I love you too gorilla" He said, turning his attention to the movie I turned on. After 20 minutes or so I felt his breathing slow down a bit and leaned over to check if he was awake. He was not. His eyes were shut and he had a slight smile on his lips. "You're so cute" I whispered, pulling him a bit closer, and dragging the blankets over his shoulders. I leaned down kissing his head, and turned off the tv. I grabbed one of his hands, interlocking our fingers. "Goodnight Love."
